When it comes to popular music, a proven formula is a safer bet than chancing something new. Apparently, such is the wisdom behind Conjure One, the new project spearheaded by Delerium and Front Line Assembly architect Rhys Fulber. As he did with Delerium, Fulber pairs guest vocalists of the mostly ethereal variety with gauzy ambient-tribal pop full of Eastern shadings and just enough chanting to maintain the spooky quotient. And when Fulber nails a vibe--as he does twice with singer Poe on the dreamy, goose-fleshy "Center of the Sun" and the downright chilling "Make a Wish," and with Tea Party belter Jeff Martin on the widescreen "Premonition"--he nails it, creating a haunted landscape best described as New Age-worldbeat. There are some clunkers here, too. Sinead O'Connor is thwarted by the leaden clichés littering "Tears from the Moon," and Israeli vocalist Chemda shamelessly borrows from the late, great Ofra Haza to negligible effect. But anyone who dug the Delerium project--or kindred spirits such as Dead Can Dance--will declare Conjure One a success. --Kim Hughes

Very pleasant, enjoyable to listen to, with a few really great tracks. It is somewhat repetitive, though, and may pale after a few listens.

5 out of 5 stars conjure one review.......2006-11-10

I like it,In many places its clubby and driving. Yet it has this delicate potion.
Po is a great singer in these songs.
I gave this as a gift.

5 out of 5 stars Pristine and immaculate.......2006-10-10

There are very few albums in which I can say is absolutely perfect. Most cds I own have a song or two that I don't care for.I can't say the same about the debut album by Conjure One. After his (temporary) split from Delerium, Rhys Fulber created a new project called Conjure One. "Conjure One" is the self-titled debut album from Conjure One. I was fortunate to find a copy of the cd a few days prior to its official release four years ago. The music is as exquisite and beautiful as any Delerium cds. The choices in singers used on the songs is perfect. Each of the women brought something to the table. The music is so soothing and relaxing to listen to after a hard day's work at the office. I like the combination of new age and ambient. It isn't too sappy or too dreary. The lush female vocals are icing on the cake. It is nice to throw this cd into the stereo and kick back with a hot cup of tea. After four years, "Conjure One" remains a personal favorite cd of mine. It still sounds as new and fresh as the day I bought it.

5 out of 5 stars Definitely worth the 5-star rating.......2006-09-21

First of all, I'm a fan of Enigma, Deep Forest, Delirium, B-Tribe and so forth...as a matter of fact, when I first heard these tracks they were mis-identified as Enigma - understandable, since there's a few passages lifted from some of the Enigma tracks....All I have to say is that if you love Enigma, you'll love this album as well.

5 out of 5 stars Bought originally to hear POE.......2006-07-04

I originally bought this CD for the POE songs but I kept listening and most all of the songs are great. Of course the POE songs stand out but the other songs weave together nicely. The other songs on the album have a rather Dead Can Dance feel. Overall this album is very laid back and fits nicely into ultrachill categories. Good intro to this band. Don't forget sales of this album help POE in one way or another. I can't wait until all that contract mess is behind her. On her website you can get the whole story and show her some love.

Serene singers and lush electronic textures and strings are often a prescription for smothering romanticism and overwrought pop-treacle. Rhys Fulber, the force behind Conjure One, succumbed to that with his other band, Delerium, on their last album, Chimera ." But Fulber's post-Delerium project, Conjure One, though using the same formula, has a darker, sometimes more foreboding edge. On their long awaited second CD, superstar singer Sinead O'Connor is gone in favor of a bevy of lesser known voices, but little else has changed. That's not bad although "Endless Dream" echoes "Center of the Sun" from the previous album perhaps a bit too closely with yearning lyrics rising to cathedral heights in a soul-haunted chorus. The vocal credit on the tune is Jane, but unless someone has perfected human cloning, it's actually the singer-songwriter Poe, a hold-over from the last CD. She has the kind of warm crystal clear alto that makes even the awkward lyrics of the title track sound like heavenly entreaties. Joanna Stevens eschews words all together when she powers through a Middle-Eastern derived wordless hymn on the ecstatic grooves of "Dying Light." Conjure One almost becomes a different project, --one that recalls the glistening electro-pop of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark-- when Rhys Fulber sings on "Beyond Being" and a cover of The Buzzcock's "I Believe". But singers Tiff Lacey and Chemda bring it back to the Conjure One sound. From the orchestral-electronica of "Pilgrimage" to the poignant intimacy of "One Word," Extraordinary Ways is an album that seduces easily. -- John Diliberto

Album Description

With Conjure One being Rhys Fulber's (Frontline Assembly & Delerium) solo debut, he expands upon the promise of Karma with a rapturous blend of lush textures, hauntingly beautiful melodies and softly curved electrobeats. Nettwerk. 2005.

3 out of 5 stars poe is clearly tonic.......2007-07-07

the album was not bad, I mean it was ok. I am not shell shocked or out of my mind with telling friends about it. Considering Poe's solo career went right down the tubes like Rosanne singing the National Anthem, its refreshing hearing her on this ablum.

Some good tracks, but nothing to speak of. Just another ambient album, that maybe could have stayed in production a bit longer before being jugulared to the masses

thanks

4 out of 5 stars Poe is the genius, conjure one is filler........2007-03-18

The songs in which Poe participates are SO much better than the rest of the album that they are not even comparable. I feel bad for her that she has to team up with mediocre people just to get produced, but I am grateful that she gets the opportunity to put out some material and I am grateful to conjure one of that. Don't get me wrong, conjure one is not bad, but they just don't do anything of note by themselves.

5 out of 5 stars Conjure One's Re-invention by Rhys Fulber.......2006-10-15

This is Conjure One's sophomore album which again features the direction of Rhys Fulber (of Delerium & FLA). The 1st album featured Euro, Tribal and ambient beats, this album does not. Like Delerium, this side project under Rhys Fulber has gone more pop but with a slightly darker edge in many of the songs. It still retains 'untamed new age' rhythms. I have been a fan of Fulber and Leeb from the very beginning and enjoy listening to Delerium, other side projects and FLA. So when I found out Rhys was going his own way on his own project I was tempted in hearing it and liked what I heard. So with this second album it comes to no surprise that even though the texture and sound of the music has changed to a more mainstream feel, the music is still intoxicating and makes you go on a voyage down a myriad of emotions and mindscapes.

Now the songs are beautiful. Some are better in fluency than others but for me the better part of the album were the last 4 songs. The album opens up with two very 'pop' feeling songs that are radio-ready to play 'Endless Dream' & 'Face The Music'. The song 'One Word' is a uplifting song about faith in decisions. But the best songs are at the end of the album. I do miss the voice of 'Sinead O'Conner' though but the vocals are beautifully done here.

'Forever Lost' and 'Into The Escape' round out the album with haunting serenades and catchy tunes that stay in your head. Conjure One reinvented itself, not forgetting its past but holding onto it and changing to include more mainstream features. Not a bad effort and well done Fulber for another great album.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2006-06-16

This album was boring and bland. I bought it because I very much liked Conjure One's first album (I thought it sounded similar to Balligomingo's Beneath the Surface- somewhat pop, but very melodic and soothing too), but this album wasn't nearly as good. 'Endless Dream' is the only good song, and maybe 'Extraordinary Way'. The rest aren't bad, but aren't interesting, either. I reserve this album for background music.

5 out of 5 stars POE'S RETURN TO CONJURE ONE IS EXTRAORDINARY.......2006-06-16

I'm not happy with the negative reports that people have been provided here. My inital exposure to the clever lyrical content of POE was initally through a Conjure One CD and I've since bought her other solo material in addition to these collaborative efforts. POE definately has a fan in Milwaukee. The songs and content of this CD are engaging and a light pop orientation in the vein of DJ Armin Van Burne, Balligomingo, and Enigma, and Delerium. I've been getting into another act in this genre called Collide and that band happens to be my favorite in the Genre. This album however, has been played daily on my ipod for the last two weeks. I can't get the song "Extra Ordinary Ways" out of my head. If you like these other bands then this line up is great. I'd love a chance to see how they collaborate and some behind the scenes stuff on how Rhyes (spelling) worked with these other artists and how his collaborative procesess work. I also secretly wonder if he's hip to other projects out there outside this genre like Dream Theater? Well, if you like Pretty or Vocal Trance music this is for you. It has a more poppy flavor than the Energizer Bunny Trance sounds and is definately more loungy. Enjoy it.

4 out of 5 stars Good music.......2006-03-23

Very good music somewhat similar to one we know from other Delirium albums. The only song that does not fit is Tears from the Moon. It is cute but it just does not fit to other songs.

4 out of 5 stars Three and a half stars for the vocalists..........2005-05-29

Delerium founder, Rhys Fluber fulfills what he can in his newest project, Conjure One. Although, much of the music is reminiscent of his older works with Delerium he almost manages to make it work. Only two songs really demonstrate Conjure One's ability to keep the listener's attention. Tracks 2 and 3 are both the highlights of the album. Poe's amazingly alluring voice is captured in the song, Center of the Sun. Though, her voice does seem to drag in a few verses, she still manages to give the audience an almost clean performance. The next song, Tears From the Moon, is the other reason for Conjure One's achievement. Many reviewers mention the song's lyrics as corny and plain. In the songs defense I have to say; what song isn't corny or plain? Many songs do not even delve into deep waters when it comes to lyrics as you may hear in this track. Sinead O'Conner's voice is as equal as Poe's, maybe even more powerful. The instrumental tracks are also good but do not present anything new. In all, this album had no real surprises like I thought it would have. Besides the beautiful female voices of Poe, O'Conner and Chemda, this album was a bit of a letdown but still good enough to recommend.

4 out of 5 stars This is where Delerium went..........2005-02-07

So if you were wondering (as I certainly was) what ever became of the Delerium that produced the very even and listenable Semantic Spaces and Karma when Poem was released with its "collaborator of the track" variety show style, this is where the bulk of the sound went. This album also has some of the "collaborator of the track" style, but it generally flows better than Delerium's efforts -- only Tears from the Moon is decisively out of place with the vocalist selection, which is disappointing because the vocalist they were touring with last year made it fit in the portfolio just fine. Musically, the album sounds very much like Semantic Spaces, but with a more consistent (post-Karma but pre-Poem, if you will) vocal element. Not a stunning solo debut, but a solid and very listenable one that demonstrates Rhys' long-developed musical prowess.

4 out of 5 stars A nice compelling CD...........2004-09-26

Being a fan of Delerium, I purchased this album on the off-chance that it sounded similar to the early Delerium sounds. It did not. What this CD sounded more like was the Semantic Spaces and Poem of the later Delerium years.

The female vocals were great and sensually catchy, some great tracks and a nice easy flowing listening tune. Although I don't see Conjure One getting to Delerium's fame, I do see it continuing.

4 out of 5 stars Overall strong album--boasts some great tracks.......2004-09-12

I jumped the Delerium bandwagon when 'Silence' was a hit and I loved "Canto Alla Vita" on Josh Groban's debut album, which was produced and arrange by Rhys Fulber. I just loved this style of music that could fuse romance with electronic musical stylings. While it falls short of excellent, it did live up to my expectations.

What makes this album different (perhaps even better) for me, however, is one woman: Poe. She contributes two songs on that are both very solid tracks. Her lyrics, as usual, are tight, eloquent, and subtle. She's proven again that she is a fantastic lyricist, and her vocals are velvety and rhythmic. It really is no wonder her fans call her the 'mistress of groove.' Her song "Center of the Sun" really is the highlight of this album. She never oversings and her voice complements both her songs very well.

Another standout song was "Sleep." It was very ambient and created a very strong mood. The song "Manic Star" was nice, as well--a very catchy tune! Both these songs, along with Poe's, were well produced and boast strong melodies (they key, I've found, with a good Rhys Fulber song).

Chemda's vocals were actually very good. Her Israeli-style vocalizations on "Redemption" were enjoyable. I don't know what basis the official reviewer has of saying her singing is a rip-off of the late Ofra Haza (who was a GREAT singer, don't get me wrong). When two people both hail from similar regions (in this case, the Middle East) you're bound to hear similarities somewhere along the line. Chemda's vocals were intense, soulful, and compatible with Rhys' style, not to mention lend an exotic feel to the album.

The song I am a little disappointed with is Sinead's "Tears from the Moon." In this case I do agree with the official review. The lyrics do fall on cliches here and there, and the song is a bit formulatic. It's doesn't have the sweetness of Sleep or Manic Star, and it definitely doesn't have the smooth groove of Poe's contributions. I think the problem was it is a little too pop and not ambiant enough.

Overall, however, this CD does boast strong tracks. If you enjoyed songs such as Silence, Euphoria, Fallen Icons, Daylight, After All, and Truly from Delerium's past albums, you should enjoy Rhys Fulber's solo venture.

    The brainchild of former Delerium member Rhys Fulber, 'relative' newcomers Conjure One power into 2003 with a stunning trance double-header on the Nettwerk label that seems as though it's just appeared out of absolutely nowhere. Both 'Sleep' (sung by unknown vocalist Marie-Claire D'Ubaldo) & 'Tears From The Moon' (sung by Sinead O'Connor) are helped effortlessly to anthem status by an awesome remix package that includes excellent work from the likes of Ian Van Dahl & Hybrid.

    3 out of 5 stars Important to anyone about to buy this single..........2004-06-20

    For 12 bucks, this single is not worth it. Why? Is it the music? Nope. The music is great. Just the fact that you're going to buy this isn't cool.

    I got the limited-edition of the Conjure One debut album, self-titled "Conjure One". And everyone knows that limited-edition isn't really "limited", it's just another version of the original album, but has extras and might cost a little more. What makes this a "limited-edition" album, is that it has a bonus disc with re-mixes on it. Guess what the extra disc has? You guessed it. Re-mixes only.

    These are the re-mixes on the extra disc:
    1. Tears from the Moon [Hybrid's Twisted on the Terrace Mix]
    2. Redemption [Max Graham's Dead Sea Mix]
    3. Sleep [Ian Van Dahl Mix]
    4. Tears from the Moon [Robbie Rivera Mix]

    Looks familiar doesn't it? Same exact mixes except for the extra track, Redemption [Max Graham's Dead Sea Mix].

    So to put it simply: save your money and get the limited edition "Conjure One" album instead. You don't even have to get the import one, it's the one sold right here in the U.S. If you already bought the original album without the bonus disc, I would highly recommened not buying this single still. For 12 bucks you can go and buy another CD. You can go to iTunes or Napster or somewhere else to get these same re-mixes... for only about a dollar each. Save yourself some money.

    I gave it 3 stars because two of the re-mixes are great to listen to. Hybrid, who always delivers great mixes, mixes Tears From The Moon into a mysterious track, filled with ambient noises, and progressive trance/breaks beats. Max Graham's mix of Redemption is interesting to put the least. It is a progressive trance track that spans over 11 minutes. It uses a clip of the original song, but uses it sparingly. The rest is just the trance beat which keeps going. I am not a big fan of Ian Van Dahl, and their mix of "Sleep" will literally put you to sleep. I am not a fan of Robbie Riveria either; but for the track of Tears From The Moon, he puts a weird dance beat to it. Which for that song, does not match it all. It's terribly off-beat with the vocals, and the track itself just sounds chaotic and confusing. I did not know what to think when listening to this track, but to turn it off because it gave me a dulling headache.

    So just go and find these tracks somewhere else, or buy the limited-edition of "Conjure One" if you haven't bought the album yet.

    1 out of 5 stars Dissapointing.......2004-05-26

    First, let's talk price. 3 mixes (each is 7 minutes on average) for $11 is a rip of. Second, let's talk music. One OK remix of Sleep, which is a great song, but is not made any better by the remix, and two remixes of Tears From The Moon, which is my all-time favourite song, but the two remixes just KILL it. They absolutely ruin the melody, adding beats right where they don't belong. Overall, this CD is a HUGE dissapointment, and I advise you not to buy it.

    This is one of those remixes that will be in your iPod for a long, long time. Pete Lorimer's ,ix is always a pleaser, even to people who normally scoff at dance music. Solar Stone has a perfect chill out mix...perfect for something soothing. Junkie XL is a decent mix as well, but the 29 Palms mix is what keeps me coming back. And the song loses none of its intensity with each listen...truly a song that gets better every time.

    5 out of 5 stars I am at the Center of the Sun.......2004-08-10

    Center of the Sun is now my favorite single off of Rhys Fulber's Conjure One album.

    Breaking away from Bill Leebs of the group Delerium, Rhys Fulber created for himself Conjure One, and debuted with a self-titled album.

    Center of the Sun is a more uplifting, relaxed version of Delerium's songs. Eerie synths, beautiful strings, even more elegant vocals provided by Poe.

    "They say the most horrible things, but I hear violins."

    Junkie XL's mix of Center of the Sun is a great track, Junkie XL's classic acoustic sounds and moving beat. Filtered vocals set the mix's vocals apart from the original's, but not in a demeaning way. Solarstone's mix takes chilled to another level combining ambient sounds creating a amazxing combination of the original vocals and new sounds.

    Amazing track, great single.

    (*To elaborate on the previous reviewer's comment on the song being on the X-Men movie, X2: X-Men United, he was correct. I was obssessed with that movie, even bought the soundtrack to it. I have never heard that song on the movie, and the movie only offers a original score done by John Ottman. Re-watching the movie, the song is playing in the background in the X-Men mansion, after the scene with Senator Kelly and Stryker, it shows Collosus and Flea drawing and making fun of Rogue and Bobby, who are about to kiss. This is right before Wolverine comes back into the mansion after visiting Alkali Lake. I thought it was awesome to hear this song, even though it was in-directly. Genius to do that, Bryan Singer or whoever.)

    5 out of 5 stars I hope I have the right CD.......2004-06-29

    If this is the background music played in X2 when Logan returns to the Xavier mansion, then I have the right CD. The music is awesome and though I'm not a fan of techno-type music, this one just kinda latched itself onto me like a leech. =)

    5 out of 5 stars Classic alternative club music returns.......2003-12-08

    Conjure One's self-titled album is one of my favorite purchases of 2003, and the single for "Center of the Sun" is at the top of my singles collection. Unlike most techo/club-esque remixes in the past 10 years or so, Junkie XL and Pete Lorimer-29 Psalms have put together incredible upbeat versions without losing the feel of the original track. Poe's lyrics still shine through, but with added processing sound even more beautiful and mysterious than the album version. The "chilled out remix" by Solarstone extends deeper than the original and sounds more of a dreamlike state. Fans of any 'chill-out' compilation will love this track immensely. 5 stars for Rhys Fulber (1/2 of Frontline Assembly) for teaming up with these great mix geniuses!

      5 out of 5 stars THIS AND KARMA.......2005-09-08

      I' ve been a fan of Fulber since the early times and still I am, even considering that his style is dramatically different now. Some dark beats and nearly operatic vocals (especially on tracks 3 and 8) are reminiscent of Karma but the depth and general tone are obviously more similar to those of the first Conjure one album. There are a few poppish tracks but with that "special touch" making them much more appealing. Considering also all delerium albums I must say that this one and Karma are my favorites. The reason is that all their other works seemed to me like a mere collection of (beautiful) songs, without a particular global meaning or cohesion, here the tracks are really made to work together, the lyrics and even the titles of the songs melt together to create a whole personal vision. Make sure you listen to it from start to finish, that' s really a different experience.

      5 out of 5 stars Very Nice Indeed!.......2005-09-08

      Rather more upbeat than the original self-titled album, and even more fluid and digestible (with the possible exception of "I believe", which made me want to stab myself in the eyes with a blunt object). The lyrics for "Endless Dream" are simply fabulous, as is the piano sub-melody in "Pilgrimage" (which fortunately develops enough to cover the high creep-factor frog croaking effects that initiate the song). I'll also readily admit that I already have a soft spot for "Extraordinary Ways"; there's really nothing that makes me want to turn up the volume more than a simple, heartfelt message set to beautiful chords. Overall: it's getting good play time on my iPod.

      3 out of 5 stars Great Album, but no Great Sequel.......2005-09-04

      I can't say this album isn't good. It is. In it's own style. It's a "POPier" and "ROCKier" album, instead of the first one. There are still a pair of songs that continues the exotic feel of Conjure One: "Face the Music" - with great landscape sounds - and Dying Light - a calm and sweet positively strange song. Even the cheap but efective "Extraordinary Ways" has some merit...And "Forever Lost" has a really good vocal melody but i think it was so poorly worked - it could have been a major one. "Conjure One", the first album, was so good, so really good - there isn't a song i dislike. All those beautiful and powerfull sounds - remember "Damascus", so simple and so strong, "Tidal Pool", when you could feel the pool itself, "Years", that i love so much, the strange "Manic Star" and the superb "Center of the Sun"; and "Pandora", powerful. Where are these kind of songs in this album? The answer - they're not.
      "Pilgrimage", "Beyond Being" and "Into the Escaping" tries to follow "Years" and "Pandora", but so poorly...so really poorly. They are monotonous, repetitive and boring...
      So...even though i was hugely disappointed, i must say this album is very good for those who love Rock and Pop Rock - to those fans "Endless Dream", "Extraordinary Ways", "I Believe", "One Word", "Forever Lost"...they will all be appreciated.
      I have hopes in their next realese...I Know that Rhys wanted to do a more introspective album than a exotic album...but for me...this is not my wish...

      Product Description

      One Point Zero is a spacey, as you would expect from a group called SpaceScape, ambient-electro mix of pulsations and rhythms. Samples that sound like they've come out of the latest sci-fi flick echo in the background over the electronic atmospheres. SpaceScape succeed at blending old Kraftwerk-style computeresque sounds with Skinny Puppy sample/industrial effects. The overall effect is one of off-world floating, sometimes more pulsing than rhythmic. In fact, on songs such as Cosmic Debris, you are left to your own devices in SpaceScape's realm - a very minimal guiding rhythm. A mélange of blips, bleeps, chords and whispered samples mixed together in a blender. SpaceScape lie somewhere between ambience and industrial, pumping rhythms and well-done grooves into the space-entwined soundscapes they produce. They do it well and are able to keep a similar theme throughout their One Point Zero release that allows the listener to remain with them through the aural images created. Ambient/ethereal music is, after all, about creating imagery that one can see in your mind as the music surrounds you.

        Product Description

        Shannon Beaty is a Nashville born singer/songwriter and there is evidence of this Southern upbringing in her writing. Whether it is a song about personal heartbreak, confusion or outside observation, Shannon's writing is very organic with details of time and place. Her poignant lyrics coupled with her emotional vocal delivery make her one of the most compelling performers to hit the LA scene. Shannon's honest voice delivers words to the heart with electrifying power. Shannon's debut CD titled Queen For A Day is a fusion of pop/rock/folk which strikes the listener as an Alanis-like talent, before the breakup.
